Home of Poi: Earth Dance 2007

Woo hoo only about 4 weeks to go !! I seriously can't wait.

For any fire-spinners, glow-stickerz or jugglers this is a great chance to meet other fire, glow & juggling peeps. Also any jambe players feel free to bring your drums for a good jam session. Everyone else is encouraged to watch & dance the night away with great vibes. We will try and make the fire circle in view of the 'chill out' area so there will be something to watch while relaxing under the stars.

There will be a dedicated spinning place for the whole event, so it will be easy to find. Please understand that all the teachers and performers are attending this for charity, so if a few classes are a little behind its all good.

I hope people take part in these and learn heaps of new stuff. If you ever wanted to see what it was all about then here is your chance. Don't be shy and come and say hi we are all very friendly, just make sure your wearing undies

We will be providing all the juggling equipment for begginers and we will have quite a few toys on sale aswell. So I hope this should sort all the spinners out there

Enjoy !
